Top six cycling team jerseys NOT to wear

It is a really poor list.

Tinkoff? Because they hired Hamilton? Why not Liquigas for hiring Basso or Disco for doing the same or Saxo-Tinkoff for hiring Contador? Ridiculous reasoning when there are so many other teams with scandals larger than hiring the wrong person.

I was expecting to see Liberty Seguros.

Le Groupement kit is so bad it's good. One so ugly it's funny and advertising a ponzi scheme. What could be more appropriate in this day and age?

It was written by a British journalist who also wrote this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog/2012/jun/14/lance-armstrong-usada-doping-charges. He loudly proclaimed that he was "not an expert" on the matter before writing a few paragraphs that served only to confirm that initial statement that he didn't know very much before concluding that Lance should just be given a free pass.

Lol. Funny how even on that they are towing the sky line to a tee- Thomas said exactly the same thing as the closing paragraph.
 
I was finishing a ride today and waiting at a stop light behind a guy with an early version USPS jersey :p
I was especially focused on the other sponsor on one of the back pockets....a very prominent Thomas Weisel Partners...[insert gag emote]

it made me laugh too, as prolly only those in 'this thing of ours' would fixate like I did :D
 
How about we turn this frown upside-down with the right jerseys worn by the right people - hey the models actually earned them?:

Well some don't see the irony of wearing said ex-bad press kits but they all come back.

* Phonak now supports Landis and Hamilton,
* Festina for the obviousness of it all,
* USPS to automatically bring up talk of USPS, its a crowd please-er!
* Shack egh, still to young and no direct story to them other than the fiasco of this year,
* T-Mobile the comedy, attack at any time :D ! (see USPS)

The list goes on, surprised this being in the clinic you guys don't get what wearing of those kits means these days?
